Why do hawks hunt voles from 10 meters above the sky?

Hawks hunt voles from about 10 meters above the ground to take advantage of their keen eyesight, allowing them to spot prey while maintaining a safe distance. This elevation provides a better vantage point to detect movement in the grass and assess the landscape for potential threats. Additionally, hunting from above enables them to execute a swift and powerful dive, maximizing their chances of successfully capturing the prey. The height also helps them avoid competition and increases their overall hunting efficiency.
